Hi, new to the forum and I really appreciate the help you provide to us pool rookies! Many thanks. I have a 6,000 gallon kidney shaped pool with a small water feature installed in 1995. The interior is gunite. It uses a salt water system (aqua Rite) for sanitation and has been trouble free all these years, I really love it! Here lately I cannot get the system to produce chlorine on the automatic mode no matter how high I turn up the percentage. If I go to Super Chlorinate I get a big dose chlorine as I expected, but by the weeks end after running eight hours a day I have almost no chlorine registering when testing the water. I understand that seven years is a long time for a cell, before I replaced it just wanted to see if I'm on the right track or if there is something else I should be doing. The local vendor told me that since it's an older unit I must stick with the 40,000 gallon T-15 cell I have, like to verify that.
Below is my water readings from the pool store after a week of running as well as the readings on my aqua rite. Thanks so much for the help and the outstanding forum
